Awesome Animated Video for the Yellow Bird Project

I know I already posted about the Yellow Bird Project a while back, but I had to share this new video I just saw on their site. This non-profit company works with an amazing range of indie rock musicians to create unique t-shirt designs that benefit an array of charities, each chosen by the musicians. Music + T-Shirts + Art + Charity. What a cool idea.

They have just released this new animated video with their original theme song written by “The Tallest Man on Earth” and animated by Jonathan Lindley. I love this sweet animation made with paper. Watch below, or check it out here.

These beautiful, delicate, striking images by Raphael Vicenzi are mouth-watering. I can’t get enough of his truthful yet tender images.

Maira Kalman is having her first major museum survey of her work, Various Illuminations (of a Crazy World), at the Institute of Contemporary Arts at the University of Pennsylvania. Her joyful images make me smile. Happy Friday

Here at Artistic Hub, we are gearing up to move to a brand new office in downtown San Diego. I am excited to do a little house cleaning.. or should I say a LOT of house cleaning. As our moving date gets closer, I am trying to find a few fresh items to spice up the new office. This poster by Material girl makes me smile. I’ll take one please! Now I just need to find the perfect vintage frame. Thrift stores, here I come…

Massive outdoor sculpture, larger than life wall paintings and psychedelic video installations are featured at Bangkok’s Art and Culture Centre this month by some insane artists.

Another Killer Music Video by OKGo: “This too Shall Pass”

The guys in OKGo are super creative and you never know what you’ll see next in their music videos. I applaud the team that built these contraptions for the “This too Shall Pass” music video. They are resourceful, witty and perfectionists when it comes to timing and measurement.
It’s just a good time. Check out the new video here >

Out of lighting ideas? Check out the Less Lamp by Jordi Canudas. The power is now in our hands! The Less Lamp is a sealed lampshade that needs to be broken in order to release the light inside. Pick axe included. These babies run at a steep $875 dollars but are a great addition to any space.
